Background: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is loaded under tension when the tibia translates anteriorly relative to the femur. The shape of the articular surfaces of the tibiofemoral joint may influence the amount of anterior tibial translation under compressive loading. Thus, a steep lateral tibial plateau and a shallow medial plateau are thought to be risk factors for ACL injury.

Objectives: This study sought to describe outcomes of MTEER for sMR with preserved LVEF.
Methods: Using the STS/ACC TVT (Society of Thoracic Surgeons-American College of Cardiology Transcatheter Valve Therapy) Registry, we evaluated the risk-adjusted outcomes of MTEER for sMR with LVEF >50% by the severity of residual mitral regurgitation (MR), and we compared these outcomes to patients undergoing MTEER for sMR with LVEF of 20% to 50%.
Background: Bleeding events after arterial transcatheter procedures are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The frequency and clinical implications of bleeding after mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) have not been well-studied.
Objectives: The authors sought to explore the association of in-hospital bleeding events after M-TEER with patient outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to analyze the changes in risk-adjusted outcomes for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) from 2019 to 2022, and whether the improvements observed in previous years continued.
- Conducted using data from over 210,000 patients treated at 786 US hospitals, the primary outcome assessed was 30-day mortality, with additional focus on in-hospital mortality and other adverse events.
- Findings showed no significant change in unadjusted 30-day mortality rates during this period, but adjustments for patient and procedural characteristics indicated a slight increase in risk over time, suggesting ongoing trends in patient outcomes.
The transition from acute to chronic low back pain (LBP) in community settings is not well understood. The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of recruitment and estimate the transition and continuation of chronic LBP. We also explored characteristics associated with this transition to chronic LBP.
